Comparison prepared by the VerificarEmails team. Because we are comparing our own service with a competitor, we explain how we ran the test and link each data point to its source so you can check it. Reviewed on 11 November 2026.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short answer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

VerificarEmails returns line status for Movistar, Vodafone and Orange mobiles, according to its price list.<\/strong> In our test, a Movistar mobile returned connected<\/code>. HLRLookup.com documents those three networks with the operator only (MCC\/MNC), without line status, and still charges for the lookup. With VerificarEmails you also combine, in the same account, number portability (MNP), which gives the current operator, and HLR, which gives the status. And you can run both with a file: CSV, XLS, XLSX or TXT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You pay in euros, with prepaid packs, no subscription, valid for one year. Your data is processed on EU servers. HLRLookup.com, by contrast, stores your results by default in a global cache that other customers can reuse. With the same VerificarEmails account you also verify emails, names and addresses, from its remote MCP, with nothing to install, or in your pop-ups with verification. And with VerificarEmails you start with test credits. The account we opened at HLRLookup.com had 0 credits, so you have to buy a package before running a single lookup; what we say about its results comes from its documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data from 11 November 2026, taken from each service’s documentation and our test with VerificarEmails. We have not tested HLRLookup.com with an account. The cost of 1,000, 10,000, 50,000 and 100,000 lookups is in the pricing section.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What this article compares<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We compare the phone lookups of both services: the HLR lookup<\/a>, which asks the mobile network whether the line is active; the number portability (MNP) lookup<\/a>, which gives the current operator; and format validation. For each one we review what it returns for Spanish mobiles, what is charged and how much 1,000, 10,000, 50,000 and 100,000 lookups cost. We also compare the API, the MCP and how each handles data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We mention HLRLookup.com’s extras (date of the last port, landline status in the UK and Ireland, and mobile status in the US), but they are not included in the pricing tables. Nor is email, name and address verification, which VerificarEmails includes in the same account and HLRLookup.com does not offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t confuse HLRLookup.com with HLR-Lookups.com.<\/strong> HLRLookup.com, without a hyphen, is the service of HLR Lookup, a Leeds company founded in 2005. It belongs to the 3G Telecommunications group, which renamed itself Acudo in March 2026. HLR-Lookups.com, with a hyphen and an \u201cs\u201d at the end, is a different company. This article covers HLRLookup.com only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
